SMOKING PIPE.

Application led January 11, 1923. Serial No. 611,917.

To all lwhom t may concern:

Be it known that I, NUMA E. MORGAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State of Georgia, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Smoking Pipes, of whichthe following is a specification.

The primary object of my said invention is the: provision of a smokingpipe, wherein the smoke is eifectively cooled before entrance into themouth of the smoker, the saine being also freed from nicotine andmoisture.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of such anarticle that is extremely simple of construction, embodyingcomparatively few parts, and these so correlated as to produce acomparatively rigid and highly improved smoking pipe.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understoodwhen the following detailed description is read in conf nection with theaccompanying drawings,

the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangementof parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part ofthis application, like numerals ofreference indicate similar parts in the several views, and whereinFigure l is a longitudinal cross sectional view of a pipe constructed inaccordance Y with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a transverse cross sectional view upon the line 2 2 ofFigure 1. n

Figure 3 is an elevational view of one end of the pipe stem employed inconjunction with this invention.

Figure 4 is a similar View of the opposite end of the pipe stem.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary cross sectional view of one end of a slightlymodified forni of the invention.

Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 5 of a still further modified formof the invention, and

Figure 7 is a longitudinal cross sectional view of a cigar or cigaretteholder embodying the general purpose of a smoke cooling means as appliedto the pipe shown in the above mentioned figures.

Referring to the drawings, and particularly to Figures l to 4 inclusive,my pipe embodies the provision of a bowl A, stem B and mouth piece C.The bowl A may be section 6 is formed with a cap that is int ternallyscrew threaded to receive one screw threaded end of the before mentionedpipe stem B. rlhe opposite end of the pipe section 6 is internally screwthreaded for the reception of a screw threaded clean outplug 8, and thebowl A and pipe section 6 have alined openings 9 therein for permittingof the withdrawal of the smoke from the bowl A.

The opposite end of the pipe stem B is also screw threaded for receivingan inter nally screw threaded cap 10, which cap 10 is provided with acentral opening for receiving a centrally formed plug 11 upon the beforementioned mouth piece C. t

rThe stem B is of cylindrical formation, and is centrally longitudinallybored, which bore is in alinement with the before inentioned pipesection 6, .and as is clearly shown, this cylindrical barrel B isprovided 4with spaced longitudinally extending bores 12 adjacent boresbeing connected by cross channels 13, beneath the surface of the end ofthe cylindrical stem and at one end thereof. The bores 13 are alsoconnected at their opposite ends by inout channels 14, it being ofcourse understood that the channels 13 at one end of the cylindricalstein B establish communication between certain of the bores and thatthe bores la at the opposite end of the stem connect certain other ofthe bores for purposes hereinafter to be described.

`One of the stem bores as 12 is unconnected at one end with either ofthe adj acent bores, this bore 12 communicating with the central bore ofthe stein by an opening 15 more clearly shown in Figure 1.

The mouth piece C is formed with a central smoke passage 15, the innerend of which terminates at the upper inner end of the before mentionedintegral plug 11, and communicates with one of the bores of thecylindrical stem B bya downwardly extending channel 16, more clearlyshown in Figures 1 and 3. At the opposite ends of the stem B and withinthe said caps 7 and 10 are leather or rubber washers 17, whicheffectively prevents discharge of the smoke from the bores but allowsthe same to pass from bore to bore through the instrumentality of theinout channels 13 and 14;. Within the central bore of the stem B, thereis provided a mass of cotton 17, which effectively prevents the entranceof 'nicotine or pieces of' the tobacco into the smoke channelsof thestem, and in view of the above description, it will at once be apparent'that the smoke before passing outwardly through the channel in themouth piece C will circulate entirely around the stem B, therebyeffectively cooling the smoke before entrancefinto the smokers mouth.For cleaning purposes, the plug 8 may be removed, and'v in view of thesimplicity of the parts of this pipe, the same may be readilydisassembled whenever occasion demands.

In Figure 5, the bowl A is formed at its lower end with a wedge-shapedopening 5 for receiving the wedgel shaped pipe section (3', whichyconstruction will facilitate the vmore ready removal and attachment ofthis pipe section, and in Figure 6, the bowl A is formed at its lowerend with a wedgeshaped socket 5 for receiving the wedgeshaped'nipple orpipe section 6, which has communication with the interior of the pipebowl, through the instrumentality of a pendent slot 9 in the base of thebowl In Figure 7, I have shown a cigar or cigaretteholder including thegeneralV features of construction attributed to my several forms ofpipes, and in this instance, the holder includes a stem 18, which is ofconical shape, and is formed with interconnected bores 19, for effectinga smoke channel within the stern for cooling the same, which formationof bores is subn stantially the same as those attributed to thecylindrical ybarrel B in the other figures. The large end of this stem18 is screw threaded for receiving a screw threaded cap 20, whichcarriesa'leather or rubber washer therein without departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as claimed.

That I claim `as new is 1. A smoking pipe including a stem formed with acentral bore extending longitudinally throughout the stem, and aplurality of small bores extending longitudinally thru the stem andarranged in concentric relation with the central bore havingcommunication therewith and with each other to provide a continuouspassage through the central boreand to the radial bores and successivelytherethrough back to the central bore, the points of communicationbetweeny the `central bore and the concentric bores being spaced apart,a mouth piece for engagement with one end of the stem having a plugslidably fitting the' central bore and formed with a passage tocommunicate with one of the passages from the central bore to the smallconcentric bores, and a bo-wl adapted for engagement over the other vendof the stem `having a passage Vcommunicating with the central bore ofthe stem formed'to close the ends of the smalllongitudinalconcentrically arranged bores except for interfcommunication betweensaid bores.

2. A smoking pipe including a stem formed with a central bore extendinglongitudinally throughout the stem, and a plurality of small boresextending longitudinally thru the stem and arranged in concentricrelation. with the central bore having communication therewith and witheach other to provide a continuous passage through the centralbore andtothe radial bores and successively therethrough `back to the centralbore, the points of communication between the central bore and theconcentric bores being. spaced apart, a mouth piece for engagement withone end of the stem having a plug slidably fitting the central bore andformed with a passage to communica-tewith one of the passages from thecentral bore to the small concentric boresa pipe section for engagementover the other end ofthestem adapted to close the'small concentriclongitudinal bores atr the end portion ofi the stem except forinter-communication therebetween and formed with a central borecommunicating with the central bore' of said stem, and a bowl mounted onsaidpipe section having an opening registeringy with'an opening in saidvpipe section to provide communication of the bowl .with the centralbore.

In testimonyA whereof I affix my signature.
